Hi there Mary, that's something I hadn't thought of re painting the ridge tiles, I had thought to replace them with the grey, it would depend on the condition of the ridge do they need re setting, this would be a good time to replace rather than fiddle with painting, Woodland Grey is a classic Colour Bond, Gully a bit lighter. Your Roof is a strong red colour, I would get a sample of both grey colours, if you have a spare red tile take it with you to look at samples good luck

Thanks swich5 - I don't want a domestic either (and I liked the dark colour too so I'm just rolling with it! If it is hot in the summer I'm hopeful it will make it warmer in winter...?) BTW, a friend of ours has used Surfmist Colourbond for her roof and as a feature on the sides of her house and it doesn't look coloured or creamy - comes out very neutral, more a very pale, weathered galvanised iron sort of grey, and might work well for your roof. Good luck!

Have a look at Windows "Paint", it's the easiest to use, you can use real paint colours RGB with this program

I'd also suggest do one on the roof , one on the gutters -- in other words , if you go surfmist for the roof , go woodland for the gutters and any other trim ; if you go for the darker woodland on the roof , go surfmist around the middle ( gutters ) . While none are 'pure' colours , essentially you have red , white and black . Balanced , with the contrast around the middle , whereas if you matched the gutters to whichever you choose for the roof , its two-tone , and not 2 strong tones either .
